Thank you too all that have conveyed your condolenses to us. My Dad was a great man in many ways. To the Navy buddies: Dad was so proud of serving in the Navy and often talked about it and when he was stationed in Cypress. He will truly be missed by my mom, brother, his grandchildren, and myself as well as all those that he touched!

I was sorry to hear of the passing of my friend Bobby. He alway left me with a smile on my face when we spoke, over the years. Bobby was a real pleasure to have known, and I will miss him.
In closing I want to express to his family my deepest sympathy and I feel, as you do, we lost one of the "good one's"..!!
